## Description

The Wallet for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized wallet refunds in versions 1.2.6 to 1.7.0 due to the woo_wallet_refund_partial_payment AJAX action checking only for the edit_shop_orders capability, which marketplace plugins such as Dokan grant to every vendor for all orders. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with vendor-level access on such marketplace sites to refund the wallet-paid portion of orders they do not own back to the ordering customer's wallet.
